Research Themes

  • Combined effects of exercise and SGLT2 inhibitor treatment on prevention of heart failure

  • Interactive effects of habitual exercise and SGLT2 inhibitor treatment on glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus

    In this study, we investigated the combined effects of daily physical activity and SGLT2 inhibitor treatment on glycemic control in patients with uncontrolled glycemia (HbA1c ≧ 7.0%) with type 2 diabetes using a large health insurance claims and health checkup database in Japan. The glycemic control rates were higher in patients who combined SGLT2 inhibitors with physical activity (43.3 and 19.9% in HbA1c < 7.0 and < 6.5%, respectively) than in those without physical activity (32.3 and 12.1%). The present study suggests that even modest increases in daily life activity levels, such as walking, can contribute to better control of blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes taking SGLT2 inhibitors.
  • Relationships between flexibility, arterial stiffening and the sympathetic nervous system

    Apr. 2009 - Mar. 2011
    The present study tested the following hypothesis : (1) a stretching intervention for 6 months will attenuate arterial stiffening ; and (2) the sympathetic nervous system mediates the relationship between flexibility and arterial stiffness. The results suggest that (1) improving flexibility induced by stretching exercise attenuates arterial stiffening with aging ; and (2) that this relationship between flexibility and arterial stiffening might not be mediated by the sympathetic nervous system. Although the present study failed to clarify the mechanisms for the relationship between flexibility and arterial stiffness, this study indicates a possibility that flexibility exercise should be integrated as a new recommendation into the known cardiovascular benefit of regular exercise.
  • Adaptations of central arterial viscoelasticity with aerobic training
    Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B)
    Waseda University
    2009 - 2010
    The aim of this study was to determine 1) relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and central arterial viscoelasticity, and 2) effect of aerobic training on central arterial viscoelasticity. In first study, age-associated increase in central arterial viscosity was suppressed by maintenance of cardiorespiratory fitness. However, in second study, when performing 10-week aerobic training, the central arterial viscosity was not changed by the training. Therefore, this study suggests that the improvement of central arterial viscosity may need relative longer term of aerobic exercise, but shorter such a 10-week.
